About Terramungamine

Terramungamine is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Central Western Plains of New South Wales, situated approximately 10 kilometres north of Dubbo along the Newell Highway within the Dubbo Regional Council area. With a population of around 315 residents spread across roughly 203 square kilometres, the locality is defined by its wide open agricultural landscapes and low population density. The area has a long association with Indigenous Australian heritage, and the median household income reflects the modest rural economy typical of the broader region.

The locality is home to the Terramungamine Rock Grooves, a significant Aboriginal cultural heritage site along the Macquarie River where the Wiradjuri people — particularly the Tubbagah clan — shaped tools and spears, and held important gatherings. The site features approximately 150 ancient rock carvings and is accessible via Burraway Road off the Newell Highway. Day-to-day services and amenities are accessed in nearby Dubbo, which offers a full range of shopping, healthcare, schools, and transport connections including regional rail.
